NAME Mojo::MySQL5 - Pure-Perl non-blocking I/O MySQL Connector SYNOPSIS use Mojo::MySQL5; # Create a table my $mysql = Mojo::MySQL5->new('mysql://username@/test'); $mysql->db->query( 'create table names (id integer auto_increment primary key, name text)'); # Insert a few rows my $db = $mysql->db; $db->query('insert into names (name) values (?)', 'Sara'); $db->query('insert into names (name) values (?)', 'Stefan'); # Insert more rows in a transaction { my $tx = $db->begin; $db->query('insert into names (name) values (?)', 'Baerbel'); $db->query('insert into names (name) values (?)', 'Wolfgang'); $tx->commit; }; # Insert another row and return the generated id say $db->query('insert into names (name) values (?)', 'Daniel') ->last_insert_id; # Select one row at a time my $results = $db->query('select * from names'); while (my $next = $results->hash) { say $next->{name}; } # Select all rows blocking $db->query('select * from names') ->hashes->map(sub { $_->{name} })->join("\n")->say; # Select all rows non-blocking Mojo::IOLoop->delay( sub { my $delay = shift; $db->query('select * from names' => $delay->begin); }, sub { my ($delay, $err, $results) = @_; $results->hashes->map(sub { $_->{name} })->join("\n")->say; } )->wait; DESCRIPTION Mojo::MySQL5 makes MySQL a lot of fun to use with the Mojolicious real-time web framework. Database handles are cached automatically, so they can be reused transparently to increase performance. And you can handle connection timeouts gracefully by holding on to them only for short amounts of time. use Mojolicious::Lite; use Mojo::MySQL5; helper mysql => sub { state $mysql = Mojo::MySQL5->new('mysql://sri:s3cret@localhost/db') }; get '/' => sub { my $c = shift; my $db = $c->mysql->db; $c->render(json => $db->query('select now() as time')->hash); }; app->start; Every database connection can only handle one active query at a time, this includes asynchronous ones. So if you start more than one, they will be put on a waiting list and performed sequentially. To perform multiple queries concurrently, you have to use multiple connections. # Performed sequentially (10 seconds) my $db = $mysql->db; $db->query('select sleep(5)' => sub {...}); $db->query('select sleep(5)' => sub {...}); # Performed concurrently (5 seconds) $mysql->db->query('select sleep(5)' => sub {...}); $mysql->db->query('select sleep(5)' => sub {...}); All cached database handles will be reset automatically if a new process has been forked, this allows multiple processes to share the same Mojo::MySQL5 object safely. Note that this whole distribution is EXPERIMENTAL and will change without warning! EVENTS Mojo::MySQL5 inherits all events from Mojo::EventEmitter and can emit the following new ones. connection $mysql->on(connection => sub { my ($mysql, $db) = @_; ... }); Emitted when a new database connection has been established. ATTRIBUTES Mojo::MySQL5 implements the following attributes. max_connections my $max = $mysql->max_connections; $mysql = $mysql->max_connections(3); Maximum number of idle database handles to cache for future use, defaults to 5. migrations my $migrations = $mysql->migrations; $mysql = $mysql->migrations(Mojo::MySQL5::Migrations->new); Mojo::MySQL5::Migrations object you can use to change your database schema more easily. # Load migrations from file and migrate to latest version $mysql->migrations->from_file('/home/sri/migrations.sql')->migrate; MySQL does not support nested transactions and DDL transactions. DDL statements cause implicit "COMMIT". "ROLLBACK" will be called if any step of migration script fails, but only DML statements can be reverted. This means database can be left in unknown state if migration script fails. Use this feature with caution and remember to always backup your database. url my $url = $mysql->url; $url = $mysql->url( Mojo::MySQL5::URL->new('mysql://user@host/test?connect_timeout=0')); Connection URL. options Use url->options. See Mojo::MySQL5::Connection for list of supported options. password Use url->password. username Use url->username. METHODS Mojo::MySQL5 inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new ones. db my $db = $mysql->db; Get Mojo::MySQL5::Database object for a cached or newly created database handle. The database handle will be automatically cached again when that object is destroyed, so you can handle connection timeouts gracefully by holding on to it only for short amounts of time. # Add up all the money say $mysql->db->query('select * from accounts') ->hashes->reduce(sub { $a->{money} + $b->{money} }); from_string $mysql = $mysql->from_string('mysql://user@/test'); Parse configuration from connection string. # Just a database $mysql->from_string('mysql:///db1'); # Username and database $mysql->from_string('mysql://batman@/db2'); # Username, password, host and database $mysql->from_string('mysql://batman:s3cret@localhost/db3'); # Username, domain socket and database $mysql->from_string('mysql://batman@%2ftmp%2fmysql.sock/db4'); # Username, database and additional options $mysql->from_string('mysql://batman@/db5?PrintError=1'); new my $mysql = Mojo::MySQL5->new; my $mysql = Mojo::MySQL5->new('mysql://user:s3cret@host:port/database'); my $mysql = Mojo::MySQL5->new( url => Mojo::MySQL5::URL->new( host => 'localhost', port => 3306, username => 'user', password => 's3cret', options => { utf8 => 1, found_rows => 1 } ) ); Construct a new Mojo::MySQL5 object and parse connection string with "from_string" if necessary.
